1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder: Main Teaching Cast]]
4	!!Glynda Goodwitch
5	Ozpin's assistant and a teacher of Dust Theory.
6
7	* ACupAngst: Used to have this, [[SheIsAllGrownUp but then she changed gained huge tracts of land.]]
8	* ButtMonkey: Suffers at the hands of Cinder's pranks.
9	** Even when she was a kid, she was this.
10	* CompensatingForSomething: In Diary, she's constantly bashing the figures of [[MsFanservice Cinder, Yin, Yuko and Yona.]] [[ACupAngst I wonder why?]]
11	* CovertPervert: Despite claiming to hate perversion, she attempts to flirt with Ozpin during the BeachEpisode.
12	** And Diary reveals a LOT of her perversion. [[TsunDere Not that she'll ever admit it.]]
13	* DrivesLikeCrazy: She fails her driving test this way.
14	* GenerationXerox: She and Cinder have the same kind of relationship Weiss and Yang have.
15	* HeroOfAnotherStory: 'The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch', in this case.
16	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Resorts to antics to stop the antics in Weiss Reacts, recruiting [[ThePrankster Tukson]] to swing the odds in her favor.
17	* HotTeacher: Oh definitely. Most definitely.
18	* OnlySaneMan: Out of all the staff in Beacon, she comes off as the sanest. Only Yona acts more sane.
19	** NotSoAboveItAll: She also enjoys cosplaying. And The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch shows a lot of her crazy side as well.
20	* MsFanservice: Most definitely.
21	* {{Tsundere}}: For Cinder AND Ozpin. She even dresses like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin Tohsaka]] one time.
22	** She also squees over Chieri. Not that she'd ever admit it.
23
24	!!Cinder Fall
25	The former BigBad and now the teacher of Self-Defense at Beacon.
26
27	* AnswersToTheNameOfGod: She prefers this, [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Cinder-sempai or Cinder-chan]] over Professor Fall.
28	* BadassTeacher: But of course, it's Cinder. She can take on her entire Self-Defense class and win, only falling to Ruby using Weiss' tactics. She also beats up a Grimm for daring to hurt her class.
29	** BewareTheSillyOnes: She is much sillier and less serious than she is in canon, but she retains the same skills and power her canon counterpart has. There is a reason Ozpin hired her for Self-Defense specifically, and it is this.
30	* BerserkButton: Not having her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood burritos]].
31	* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is extremely eccentric in her actions and quite childish, much to [[BeleagueredAssistant Roman, and later Tohru's]] despair.
32	* CompanionCube: Burrito-kun, which acts as a ShoutOut to [[Anime/CodeGeass Cheese-kun]].
33	** It gets blown up off-screen during 'A Melodic Comedy' by Lukas.
34	* CoolTeacher: Offers food as a prize for beating her in combat and has full confidence that her students would easily beat the stuffing out of Siegmund.
35	* CurbStompBattle: She inflicts this on most of the Self-Defense class except Ruby. And then later on a Beowolf summoned by a Mary Sue.
36	* EccentricMentor: Decides that the best way to train her students is to [[CurbStompBattle fight them herself]] and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood demands burritos as part of homework]].
37	* TheGadfly: Towards Roman and Glynda.
38	* GenerationXerox: An older version of Yang.
39	* HeelFaceTurn: Did one along with Roman at an unspecified time (implied to be around the time of Volume 2) before the events of Weiss Reacts. [[spoiler: This was likely motivated by Siegfried Schnee taking over from [[BigBad Siegmund Schnee]] and indirectly avenging Summer.]]
40	** [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: Did this sometime after The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch and before Weiss Reacts, [[ForegoneConclusion obviously]]. This was motivated, in part, by [[BigBad Siegmund]] taunting her about Summer's death.]]
41	* [[spoiler: HiddenDepths: Cinder clearly suffered from Summer's death, to the point that she takes up Summer's weapon as a TragicKeepsake.]]
42	** [[spoiler: She may be a StepfordSmiler, considering that in addition to mourning Summer, she is also heavily implied to have had a rather bad romance in her past during the Yuletide Dance.]]
43	* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Yang.
44	* LovableSexManiac: Just like Yang.
45	* MamaBear: Towards her class. Seriously, don't hurt them. [[BerserkButton Cinder doesn't like that.]]
46	* MsFanservice: Being, well, Cinder, this makes complete sense.
47	* NoodleIncident: Her HeelFaceTurn reportedly involved burritos, and there was a horrible incident when the local burrito parlor ran out just as she walked in to get some.
48	* SenseiChan: Acts like this.
49	* ShoutOut: [[Manga/FutureDiary Deus ex Gasai]], a large meat cleaver. Also counts as {{Foreshadowing}} for what Velvet does years later in 'Weiss Reacts to Website/TVTropes'.
50	* StepfordSmiler: Acts incredibly energetic and nice, but there ''are'' hints that she's more than meets the eye, [[spoiler: such as the fact that she still uses Summer's bow, her heavily implied bad romantic history, and her reaction to seeing her canon counterpart's actions.]]
51	* StartOfDarkness: Her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Siegmund hurtles her into a full FaceHeelTurn.
52	* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: The sword-bow weapon she wields? It once belonged to Summer Rose, Ruby's mother. It's implied she took it up out of respect for her after her death.]]
53	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Burritos. [[NoodleIncident Horrible things happen if she doesn't get her burritos.]]
54	* {{Troll}}: To Glynda, Roman, Ozpin....the list goes on.
55	** She also trolls everyone in Beacon.
56	* {{Tsundere}}: Type A to Roman, type B to everyone else.
57
58	!! Ozpin
59	The headteacher of Beacon.
60
61	* BadassTeacher: By extension.
62	* BewareTheQuietOnes
63	* RetiredBadass: Used to be a full-time Huntsman until he retired to teach kids.
64	* EccentricMentor
65	* TheGadfly: Towards Glynda.
66	** He's this towards everyone, as it turns out.
67	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: His normally calm attitude wavers when he realises [[FamedInStory Demeter Rose]] may be considering attacking Beacon.
68	* SeenItAll: Isn't even fazed by half the insanity that his students come up with.
69	* TranquilFury: Is mentioned to have 'cold fury' under his seemingly calm exterior.
70	* {{Troll}}: Most definitely. His most major appearance involves [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments making Glynda declare him the God-Emperor of Swag.]]
71	** Even more of one during the Diary Arc.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder: Other Teachers]]
75	!! [[Manga/TasogareOtomexAmnesia Yuko Kanoe]]
76	A ghost haunting Glynda since her Signal days. Recently acquired a physical body. She becomes Beacon's professor of Supernatural Studies.
77
78	* BecomeARealBoy: Velvet gives her a body to possess.
79	* CanonForeigner: Originates from 'The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch' and didn't make an appearance in Weiss Reacts....
80	** CanonImmigrant: ...until chapter 75's CliffHanger.
81	* CuteGhostGirl: A rather perverted one who haunts Glynda. She remains this way until Velvet makes her a body.
82	* LovableSexManiac: Oh, most definitely.
83	* MsFanservice: Like [[Manga/TasogareOtomexAmnesia her source material.]]
84	* RightManInTheWrongPlace: She was summoned by accident instead of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]] by Velvet.
85
86	!! Roman Torchwick
87	Cinder's assistant and the new Professor of Economics and Huntsmanship at Beacon as of Volume Two.
88
89	* BeleagueredAssistant: To Cinder.
90	* DeadpanSnarker: The few times he appears, he often calls out Cinder on her obsession with burritos.
91	** Chapter 75 displays his snarker tendencies more.
92	* HeelFaceTurn: Did one at an unspecified time (implied to be around the time of Volume 2) before Weiss Reacts along with Cinder.
93	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being an immense snarker, he does show a soft spot for Chieri. And earlier, he squees over sitting next to Rise in a club.
94	* OnlySaneMan: Again, to Cinder.
95	* RealMenWearPink: He is a [[{{VideoGame/Persona4}} Risette]] fanboy and his favourite anime? Anime/CardcaptorSakura.
96	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Pulls this due to the insanity of the Diary Arc for a week. Cinder searches for a replacement quickly because [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking who would buy her burritos if her slave isn't around?]]
97	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Did we mention he was a Risette fanboy?
98	* {{Tsundere}}: A male type A to...well, everyone.
99
100	!! Ludwig Amadeus
101	The teacher of Music at Beacon.
102
103	* CoolOldGuy: Appears to be the oldest teacher, and claims to have taught Freya, Cinder and Glynda in the same class.
104	* MeaningfulName: He shares the name of [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven two]] [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart famous]] composers.
105
106	!! Gretchen Faust
107	A teacher at Beacon..... but nobody is sure of what exactly.
108
109	* AbhorrentAdmirer: To the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] himself, to the point that ''he'' runs away from Faust.
110	* BadassTeacher: Ozpin would likely only keep her around because of this, given her other traits.
111	* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a teacher namely known for her crush on the Slender Man, her general tampering with [[EldritchAbomination beings beyond human understanding]] and her insanity. She's also a Huntress who has lived long enough to teach Glynda, Ozpin, Cinder and the other adult Hunters how to fight, a skilled mage who can control said beings, and it's implied, one of the few Hunters who can take on [[HeroKiller Siegmund Schnee]] alone.
112	* BlackSpeech: Speaks in this to protect Jaune from his admirers during the Beauty Pageant with a powerful spell.
113	* CanonImmigrant: She and Alexander Arc are from another fanfic based on Weiss Reacts written by a different author.
114	* EccentricMentor: Definitely. She, for one, ''organises a battle in the east wing of Signal.'' Why? To decide the culture festival's events.
115	* FaustianBargain: She's named after the TropeNamer and his LoveInterest, and Roman implies that's exactly what she did.
116	* MadScientist: Regularly summons [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] for experiments.
117	* NightmareFetishist: She has a crush on the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], among other things.
118	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Regularly summons horrors that have, on at least two ocassions, kept team RWBY stuck in their dorms while Tukson and Beth slay them. And keeps Shoggoths as pets.
119	** Not to mention that she scared [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slen D. Mann]] by simply asking him out. This must be emphasised; she scared a [[EldritchAbomination being of unfathomable horror]] and empowered by his conversion to the church of Kamina, by HITTING ON HIM!
120	* OlderThanTheyLook: She's mentioned to not have aged despite having taught the staff members around the same time as Professor Amadeus. Given that Amadeus is fairly old.....
121	** She looks nineteen, and yet is old enough to have taught Glynda and her friends when Glynda herself was younger than the main protagonists.
122	* RenaissanceMan: Well, woman. From what can be told about her, she has a lot of experience in various areas of study.
123	* SenseiChan: Is very immature despite being a very powerful Huntress and witch.
124	* SheCleansUpNicely: In ''Diary of Glynda Goodwitch'', it's revealed that Gretchen is quite attractive when she cleans up her hair, clothing and wears more flattering attire. Almost to the point of....
125	** StupidSexyFlanders: Glynda finds her physically attractive, despite her [[MadScientist other]], [[CloudCuckooLander more]] [[AbhorrentAdmirer undesirable]] traits.
126	* StalkerWithACrush: She stalks ''the Slender Man'' himself.
127
128	!! Yona Arc
129	Jaune's mother and teacher of Weaponcraft.
130
131	* ActionMom
132	* BadassLongcoat: She wears this over her..... [[{{Stripperiffic}} well, we decline to call it clothing.]]
133	* {{BFG}}: Her weapon of choice.
134	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko]]. Also, Myth/WilliamTell.
135	* FieryRedhead
136	* FriendlySniper
137	* MsFanservice: Of course, as she's an expy of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko]].
138	* OnlySaneMan: Along with Glynda out of all the staff in Beacon.
139	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her clothing of choice.
140	* {{Tsundere}}: She shows some tendencies of this.
141
142	!! Peter Port and Bartholomew Oobleck
143
144	* FluffyTamer: Port. Has a tendency to name his finds "Edgar", much like his canon voice actor Ryan Haywood. Ren lampshades the most well-known Edgar by saying "None of them are the one in the hole" in Chapter 86 when Nora remarks about the choice of name.
145	* EldritchAbomination: Oobleck summons these to attain more speed.
146	* OutOfFocus: Compared to canon.
147	* ThoseTwoGuys
148
149	!! Cassandra
150	A teacher from the Antic Order who comes to Beacon at the end of the Volume 3 Reaction to engage in certain activities.
151
152	* BodyguardingABadass: Is sent to Beacon in part to watch over Pyrrha in particular, although she mentions that she'll also be keeping an eye on everyone else.
153	* ChekhovsGunman: Is named during the Anniversary Special, but does not appear until TheStinger of the Volume 3 Reaction.
154	* TheMole: For the Antic Order, planted in Beacon.
155	* {{Protectorate}}: Pyrrha seems to be the main reason Cassandra is at Beacon. She specifically names her as the main person she will keep an eye on, for one, and asks for a closer watch on her.
156
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	[[folder: Other Staff]]
160	!! Beth Lupin
161	The caretaker, groundskeeper, janitorial staff and IT technician staff of Beacon.
162
163	* AlmightyJanitor
164	* {{BFS}}: Her weapon, [[{{Literature/Beowulf}} Hrunting]], is a freaking ''[[ChainsawGood chainsword]] rifle''.
165	* DeadpanSnarker
166	* {{Expy}}: Of {{Literature/Beowulf}}.
167	* MamaBear: She leaps to Weiss' defense against Siegmund, despite lacking any weapon except a nearby axe.
168	* OnlySaneMan: Much to her [[SurroundedByIdiots distress]].
169	* PintSizedPowerhouse: She's smaller than the main cast. She's also capable of cleaning up after HumongousMecha and StuffBlowingUp.
170	* TheRival: To Yang.
171
172	!!Tukson
173	Beacon's librarian as of chapter 91.
174
175	* BadassBookworm: He's also the librarian. Tukson does not disappoint when it comes to being Badass. To wit, he pulls out a ''Kamehameha'' made from his own Aura that even resident Badass Blake can barely deflect while inside the Lagann, manages to fight a three-on-one fight and nearly win, taking two ultimate attacks to take down, and then handing Blake and Yang their backsides without weapons.
176	* BareFistedMonk: He ''needs'' no weapons.
177	* BoisterousBruiser
178	* EarlyBirdCameo: Tukson was revealed much earlier when Beth describes the training room as [[ChekhovsGag 'as if a pack of pumas stormed in and ripped everything up']]- him being a puma Faunus.
179	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lordgenome]]. His attacks take inspiration from [[Manga/DragonballZ Goku]], [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Udyr]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu, Ken]] and [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]].
180	* HumongousMecha: He owns one, the Lazengann.
181	* KiManipulation: His Semblance.
182	* ThePrankster: Is said to be a master prankster, just like Cinder and Ysengrim.
183	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Tukson's canon counterpart was killed unceremoniously in the first episode of Volume 2.
184	* WorthyOpponent: Has been seeking one for a long time, from what little is known of Tukson thus far.
185	** He found one in Blake.
186	* YouAreAlreadyDead: His Aura exploding technique is a less lethal version, subduing an enemy by rupturing all of their aura.
187
188	!! [[Manga/FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]]
189	Cinder's replacement teaching assistant after Roman pulls off a ScrewThisImOuttaHere.
190
191	* BadassPacifist: Retains this trait. And of course she's a Badass - she's in the [[WorldOfBadass Reactsverse]].
192	* BeleagueredAssistant: To Cinder, temporarily, after Roman [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere took an impromptu vacation]].
193	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Don't insult her friends. She may not lose her temper, but she will certainly demonstrate just WHY she's a BadassPacifist.
194	* ButtMonkey: Is the target of various antics courtesy of Ren and Lukas. And [[LovableSexManiac Espresso.]] And Cinder seems to love shoving her into perverted cosplays....
195	* CoolTeacher: Well, cool teacher's assistant. She still counts.
196	* HiddenBuxom: Apparently, according to [[SkinshipGrope Espresso]].
197	* MamaBear: Despite barely being a year older than the Reacts cast, she manages to come of as this due to actually slapping [[JerkAss Dove]] for bullying a Faunus.
198	* NewTransferStudent: Is this..... until it's revealed at the end that she isn't. See RedHerring.
199	* NiceGirl: But of course, it's [[TeamMom Tohru]].
200	* OlderThanSheLooks: She's old enough to be Cinder's assistant despite looking young enough to be a Beacon student.
201	* ThePollyanna: Nothing surprises her. Nothing.
202	** {{Subverted}} hilariously; she gives up on [[StalkerWithACrush Velvet]] after various antics.
203	* RedHerring: She isn't the titular transfer student of 'Weiss Reacts to Transfer Students'. [[{{VideoGame/Persona3}} Minako is.]]
204	* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Courtesy of Cinder and Espresso.
